METHOD, OF ATTACHING ADVERTISING ARTICLES TO CARDS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 295,665, dated March25, 1884:.

Application filed June J7, 1883. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:-

Beit known that I, SEELEY P. MOUNT, of Cleveland, in the county ofCuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in Advertising-Cards,

of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a method of attaching a miniature article ofwearing-apparel or other article of manufacture to a businesscard, aswill be hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in theclaim.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a face view of abusiness-card, showing a miniature article attached; and Fig. 2 isvertical sections of the same on line 00 w,'Fig. 1

The letter A represents a businesscard having near its edge a slot, 0,and above said slot a strip, a.

B represents the miniature article, made of any suitable material, andconsists of twoportions connected together by anarrow piece, I).

The letter D denotes the ring for securing the parts together. i

. The manner of attaching the article to the card is as follows: Foldthe card A at its central or middle portion; then slip the ring on thefolded strip a; adjust one of the portions of the article between thefolded portions of the strip, so that the connectingpiece b will restupon the upper edge thereof; then move the ring forward off from thefolded strip and release it therefrom, so that when the card isstraightened out the ring will restin the slot of the card over thefolded connecting-piece and encircle them, whereby one portion of thearticle will be suspended in front and the other on the back of saidcard. To detach the article from the card, fold said card at its middleportion; then bring the ring D over the connecting-piece b and back ontothe folded str=p a, and then draw the rear portion of the articlethrough said folded strip, thereby releasing said article from the card,and finally slipping the ring off from the folded strip. The combinationof said card and article as an advertising medium gives additional valueand interest to the sa1ne,and at the same time is rendered moreattractive and amusing by means of its being a puzzle to attach and de;tach the miniature.

Having described my invention and theoperation thereof, what I claim isThe method of attaching a miniature advertising article, consisting oftwo portions connected by anarrow piece, I), to a card, A, having aslot, 0, near its edge, forming a strip, a, consisting, first, infolding the card at its central port-ion; second, in sliding a ring ontothe folded strip; third, in passing a part of the divided articlebetween the folded portions. of

the strip, so that the connecting-piece will rest upon the upper edge ofthe strip, and, fourth, in moving the ring back off from the foldedstrip and releasing it, so that when the card is straightened out thering will rest in the slot over the folded connecting-piece b, and oneportion of the advertising article will be suspended in front and theother on the back of the card, as set forth.
